I think Tiger was leading by example for Chris Brown. If he was getting beaten up, he left before he had to defend himself. Somehow, I don't think his wife was "freeing him from the vehicle" with that golf club. Although it may have been a coincidence.

As far a Gloria Allred - well if you want things to get out of the media and go away, she'd be the last attorney I'd hire.

George Clooney did not bail out Nicolas Cage, says rep.

So what were they expecting, verandas and wrought iron already? The article describes the homes as "first class" and "affordable, green houses" that sensibly "to protect them from future floods, [] have been built on stilts." It goes on to note that even one of Brad's critics "still expressed admiration for Pitt. 'He deserves a great deal of credit,' adding that Pitt had 'done more for New Orleans' than any government agency."
